Keyes makes Thompson 'uncomfortable'
OK, this will be the last day--probably--that I rail against Alan Keyes. Jim Thompson, former Republican governor of Illinois, said of Keyes, "His views are very conservative. Some of his positions would make me uncomfortable as a voter." Thompson declined to endorse Keyes.
This is yet more proof that the Illinois G.O.P. has been hijacked by a small fringe element that is obsessed with fighting a culture war to enshrine their notions of Biblical law into the laws of the United States. So I implore Illinois voters: if you can't stomach a vote for Obama, who's going to win no matter what you do, please, at least vote for the Libertarian and show the Republican Party that you won't stand for extremism. (Yes, Dad, I'm talking to you.) His name is Jerry Kohn (an odd Spoonerism of John Kerry) and you can learn more about him at www.Kohn2004.org, but I think all you need to know is that a vote for Kohn will send a message to the Republican Party that it can't field candidates like Alan Keyes and expect the support of mainstream Illinoisans.
